Using the Main eMail VOICELink Window

When you start eMail VOICELink the first thing to appear is the main window. This is where you initiate all message actions.

This window is similar to many email programs. It allows you to enter destination email addresses, a subject line, and a text message. eMail VOICELink allows you to select email addresses from its own address book or from your existing email program address book. See Using the eMail VOICELink Address Book for more information on using address books.

You can choose to create a message that include sound, graphics, or both by selecting the Voice or Graphics options before clicking Record Message . Selecting Voice causes the recording controls to display when you click Record Message . Selecting Graphics and clicking Record Message causes the Whiteboard template selection window to appear.

See Using eMail VOICELink Templates for more information on templates.

Sending an eMail VOICELink Player

One of the unique features of eMail VOICELink is the ability to attach a eMail VOICELink message player to your email to ensure that the person receiving the message can view it exactly as recorded. You won't have to worry whether or not the recipient has the correct software. You can send either a Macintosh or Windows version of the player.
